1. QUANTIFIERS
UNIT 5: “SHOP SMART”
By Teacher Danitza Lazcano Flores

2.  Quantifiers used to indicate the amount or quantity
referred to by a noun.
 There are different from numbers so they are an
approximate amount rather than an exact amount.
 Some of these are,
 How much (Cuánto) (With uncountable nouns)
 How many (Cuánto) (With countable nouns)
 Too (Demasiado)
 All (Todo)
 Enough (Suficiente)
 None (Nada)

3. Much / Many
 We use Much with uncountable nouns (things you can’t count
like sand, perfume, feelings, sugar or bread)
 Example: How much money do you spend in a month ?
 We use Many with countable nouns (things you can count like
chairs, pens, times a week, items or coins).
 Example: How many classmates do you have?

4. Much / Many
 Much and Many are also use in affirmative sentences after the
words too, so, and as. (Too much and too many, both mean a lot
of something)
 Examples:
 I have too much money (I have more money than I should)
 Mia has too many shoes (She has more shoes than she needs)
 Nobody spends as much time in the bath as you. (Tanto)
 I have so many cats at home. (Tanto)

5. Enough
 Enough is used to express sufficient or insufficient amount of
something. We use enough before a noun, but after an adjective
or an adverb.
 Examples:
 Those shirts are not big enough. (Big is an adjective)
 That’s enough!
 I don’t have enough time for this! (Time is a noun)

6. All
 All is used to express a whole amount. It can be used with
countable and uncountable nouns.
 Examples:
 All men are born equal.
 All women have to be loved.
 All my feelings are important.

7. None
 None is used to express a negative sense in the sentence. It
can be used with short answers.
 Examples:
 None of my relatives have green eyes.
 None are really necessary.
 Sorry, there are none left at the fridge!
